Commissioning At Peiner Träger GmbH, Germany, SMS Meer has modernized the medium-section mill which was re-opened on September 1, 2009. After the restart, the mill could be ramped up very rapidly whereby a large number of sections were rolled at various dimensions in ”running-in mode” from the very beginning. In the first 18 days already 25,000 t of salable sections were produced. An extended product range now comprises beams with a web height of up to 450 mm and a flange width of 260 mm as well as channels up to 400 mm, equal and unequal angles up to 250 mm and a large number of special steel sections. Long-product Mills Production increased very quickly Peiner Träger: Medium-section mill upgraded Following an operating time of 35 years and about 16.8 million t of beams and other steel sections, the continuous finishing train of the universal medium-section mill (UMIT) has been upgraded in Peine at the end of 2009 within a period of just six weeks. Thanks to the installed universal tandem-reversing rolling technology instead of continuous finish-rolling, smaller lots can now be produced more quickly and efficiently, and specific customer demands can be even better satisfied. Since the modernization, already 258,000 t of finished products have been rolled on the mill until the end of February 2010. About 50 staff members of Peiner Träger and SMS Meer jointly celebrated this good result in January 2010. 30 Newsletter 1/2010 Owing to a very detailed planning and partial pre-assembly of the mill stands during production, the modernization and cold commissioning could be completed during a standstill period of only six weeks. In such a short time, the mill equipment weighing a total of approx. 3,000 t had to be handled for the purpose of disassembly or re-assembly and tests. In addition, a large number of supply systems were mounted still during rolling operation and almost 60 km piping was installed. Parallel to dismantling, cleaning work had already been carried out, new foundations were laid, anchor holes drilled as well as new bedplates installed. A good performance: 25,000 t in 18 days. ��
The CRS® roller straightener. To minimize storage requirements on the site and to save costs we have delivered the materials and mill components required for erection ”just-in-time”. In the peak phase almost 100 specialists worked around the clock. Together with the CRS® roller straightener supplied by us which already went on stream in 2008, the mill train is now able to fulfill increased market demands with regard to flexibility, profitability and quality. Due to the modernizations by SMS Meer, the modernization project ”UMIT 2010” has been completed and the technological leadership of Peiner Träger GmbH has been strengthened. A four-crank shear weighing almost 50 t was placed onto the bedplate by means of two shop cranes and one lifting-beam attachment. Congratulations 40th anniversary of SMS Meer S.p.A.
